Caenorhabditis elegans Enables thymidine phosphorylase activity and uridine phosphorylase activity. Involved in thymidine metabolic process; uracil catabolic process; and uridine catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed in gonad; hypodermis; pharynx; and spermatheca. Is an ortholog of human UPP1 (uridine phosphorylase 1) and UPP2 (uridine phosphorylase 2).
